Components you’ll want

This recipe makes use of only a handful of straightforward components. You will have:

• 4 giant eggs
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup selfmade Bisquick combine
• 2 cups milk
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• Pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded or flaked coconut

This can be a nice recipe for utilizing my selfmade Bisquick, however you should use store-bought as an alternative if that’s what you might have. JIFFY baking combine would additionally work nicely on this recipe.

In case you solely have unsweetened coconut, you should use that instead of the sweetened coconut. Simply understand that the pie won’t be fairly as candy, so you might need to improve the sugar by a tablespoon or two. 

I like to recommend utilizing complete milk on this recipe, however 2% can be tremendous as nicely. 

Making this recipe

Begin by spraying a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet – this may assist simply in case any of the filling spills out when transferring the pie to the oven later.

In a big bowl, whisk collectively the eggs, sugar, and baking combine. As soon as that is nicely mixed, add the milk, melted butter, salt, and vanilla. 

When the combination is easy, stir within the coconut and pour the combination into the ready pie plate.

Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes. The pie is finished when the highest has evenly puffed, a paring knife inserted into the middle comes out clear, however the middle nonetheless has a little bit of jiggle to it.

Let the unattainable coconut pie cool for at the very least 1 hour earlier than serving. Because the pie cools, the puffed high of the pie will fall – don’t fear, that is regular!

This pie might be served chilled or at room temperature, though I favor it chilled. I wish to serve it with a dollop of selfmade whipped cream.
